THE WEATHER-
Oregon, Washington, Idaho Fair

HEMBREE.
Hembree, the monster out oi Tilla
mook, who murdered his wife to
stifle her reproaches for his graver
crime of ruining his own daughter,
who was sent to the penitentiary up
on an indeterminate term sentence an J
who was subsequently, after a short
incarceration, pardoned out by Gov
ernor Chamberlain, to that officer's
sharp discredit, is again under the
stress of the law for the murder of
that daughter, having been found
guilty thereof by a Polk county jury
night before last.
He is an incarnate-pervert, and the
Governor of Oregon will do his duty
by this people if he makes it his
official business to see to it that
whatever sentence is pronounced on
the man, this time, is allowed to stand
to the utter fulfilment.
Creatures of the Hembree type are
a menace to society always, and
must be barred away from it, either
by detention, or death. There is no
alternative nameable, save recourse
to the code of Japan, and that might
be invoked with a fair prospect of
toleration in this country just now;
it would, at least, spare us the re
enactment of these crimes after the
perpetrator had received the maudlin
and mistaken clemency that turns him
back upon an outraged public.
REUF.
The news comes up from San Fran
cisco that the Reuf jury failed to
agree, and the man must be tried
again. The presumption is quite rea
sonable that he will be tried many
times again, before the technicalities
that hedge about his cases will be
eliminated sufficiently to permit the
play of exact justice; since it can be
nothing but vagaries of legal practice
that interfere with the ultimate con
clusions of jury and court in his case.
.This man is, of course, technically
innocent of every one of the hundreds
of offenses alleged against him; but,
all the same, he is, in the public eye
and conscience of the Pacific Coast
people, notoriously and flagrantly
guilty of them all. San Francisco
will stultify herself if, in the end this
man goes free, though beggard, from
her courts; and we cannot, with our
knowledge of her people, believe that
he will void the law and die unim
peached of its ban.
WILCOX.
The Astorian reiterates its warning
of three months ago, that Portland
intends to send its own man to the
United States Senate this winter,
and that the man is to be Theodore
B. Wilcox.
The people up there are talking
through the mask that is supposed
to hold this concerted scheme in
abeyance and free of public discus
sion, and the talk is not at all am
biguous if one happens to know just
whom to talk to.
It is all very well to gratify one's
peculiar political tastes, predilections,
or ambitious notions, by champion
ing Statement No. 1; by employing
one's prestige in the camp of the
opposition; by setting up machine
political headquarters where they
will, supposedly, do the most good;
by stumping the State, and otherwise
doing the customary, or the specta
cular, thing; but the cold fact re
mains, and will remain to the end,
that the dominant, centralized, non
political, business power, the com
mercial interests of Oregon, as typi
fied and solidified at Portland, have
ordained the man and the issue and
will brook no denial nor defeat.
There is nothing far-fetched in this
in this situation; it is perfectly logi
cal from the Portland viewpoint, and
trill have the weight of every frac-
tion of Portland money, influence
and manipulation that can be swung
to its complete and unabridged ful
filment, during the Legislative ses
sion next winter. Campaigns, elections,
partisan alignments, deals and
double-deals, have no bearing on
the contrived and concrete purposes
of the commercial cabal that is in
charge of this program. It will GO!
There's no politics in this deal!
ROOSEVELT.
As the years gather, and yield in
contestable proof of the real values
that have innurcd to the nation by
the presidency of Theodore Roose
velt, all men will have a truer and
fuller estimate of the man and the
influences he wrought and the high
dictum he stood for, as leader, coun
selor, friend and fellow-citizen of
the Americans who honored him and
whom he honored in turn.
It is said that the good a man does
lives long after he has passed away,
and it may be added that the convic
tions begotten of that good, mellow
and expand, and reach out with wider
and wider range of effect, the longer
they dwell in the hearts and con
sciences of his fellows who profit by
the measure of those deeds; that,
when time has removed the nearer
and obscuring counter-effects that
iiirround those high performances at
the hour of their doing, and they can
be viewed in the clear, they rise in
volumne and value and take on the
essential excellenc and primal worth
that was not noted in the hour of con
troversy and denial and baffling con
tention; and this being so, there re
mains for us all the gratification of
knowing and appraising this great
servant of ours with a profounder
and more pndeful estimate than that
we now enjoy. And this is good for
us as it is good for Mr. Roosevelt and
those who shall treasure his achieve
ment at its very climax.
.EDITORIAL SALAD,
In a recent number of his paper
Mr. Bryan referred to his farm once
and to his political interests 135
times. He says his farm doesn't pay,
but in spite of his indefatigable ef
forts, neither does his politics, except
in the lecture field.
Belgium is taking steps to prevent
the subdivision of the field of Water
loo into building lots. The world
would regret to part with that his
toric place, and is unable to see that
its destructive could be profitable in
any sense of the word.
It is said that the Filipino legisla
tos are trying to get rid of American
officials by cutting salaries. When
the desired effect is produced the
self-sacrifice is likely to change to a
movement for a return to the old
basis of compensation, in the opinion
of experienced correspondents.
A mounted parade of SO young
Louisiana girls, chosen for beauty in
the different parishes, will be one of
the features of the inauguration of
the governor-elect, who is a bachelor.
If this Leap Year hint fails, the exe
cutive mansion deserves to be called
"the den" during the coming term.
Woman Suffrage Once More.
The woman suffrage amendment is
to come before the people of Oregon
for the fourth time on election day.
Why should it be necessary to vote
upon this question every two years?
The suffragists know, as do all wom
en, that when the majority of women
want a thing done, that thing will be
done. Then why have they for years
been besieging legislators, presenting
petitions, working, arguing and, late
ly, fighting for their "rights," as they
call them? Because a majority of
women are not behind the movement.
This is not a man's question; it is
a woman's question. Let the women
of the state decide that they want a
vote before you force it upon them.
Consult the women you know and
vote as they wish on this matter, but
vote, or the measure may slip through
by the inattention of voters or the
carelessness which will follow the
large number of propositions submitted.

More News From the New England
States.
If any one has any doubt at to the
virtue of Foley's Kidney Cure, they
need only to refer to Mr. Alvin II.
Stimpson, of Wtllamnntic, Conn.,
who, after almost losing hope of re
covery, on account of the failure of so
many remedies, finally tried Foley's
Kidney Coure, which he says was
"just the thing" for him, as four
bottles cured him completely. He is
now entirely well and free from all
the suffering incident to acute kidney
trouble. T. F. taurin, Owl Drug
